Activity


Activity 1:
For this activity, participants would be tested on their knowledge of the plots of the story, as well as their understanding of the different characters. The class would be divided into 3 different groups and there would be a quiz of the section. The quiz would be like a Jeopardy, where they would be different questions for points. One person from the group will go at once, and the person who reaches the buzzer,(object), first will be given a chance to answer the question. The order of the people can be decided by the group but they may not be changed once decided. The questions would pertain to the plot of the story, and particularly what happened to the character that the answerers represent. The team with the most prizes will win a PRIZE!!! (FOOD!!!)

Team 1: Hijo,Joshua, Claire, Hyun
Team 2: Soojin, Angie, DongMyung, Sangwoo
Team 3: Terry, Nick, Jenny, Hanna

Activity 2:
For this activity, participants would be tested on the knowledge of your character and his/ her/ its point of view. There would be a 2 minute session where everyone would be given papers to draw. A topic of the drawing would be given on the spot and in that 2 minutes, everyone has to finish their "masterpiece". To give a glimpse of what it is going to be, the topic would either be a quote from one of the characters or a significant scene. As the characters that they had chosen, they have to use art to express what they think of the given scene/ quotation. Note, however, that art does not necessarily pertain only to drawing. And then, each one of the artists would give a brief presentation of their work and your insight.
